She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

The place where Ono just inserted himself was right between me and Old Lady Zhang.

Old Mrs. Zhang had a kind personality and didn't mind. She just looked at Xiaoye and then at me with a smile. What she said just now was just to tease us.

My face suddenly felt hot and I felt very embarrassed.

But Xiao Ye was very thick-skinned. Not only was he not angry, but he turned around and smiled at Old Lady Zhang: "Then I am too anxious. I look forward to being your grandson-in-law all the time."

In the eyes of young people, Xiaoye's face is handsome, and his pair of peach blossom eyes are charming, but in the eyes of the older generation, Xiaoye's face is well-behaved. He looked at Mrs. Zhang attentively, and his tone was flattering: "Grandma, will you give me a chance?"

"I would like to give you a chance, but you are not performing well. You don't even peel the shrimps for grandma and just keep chattering." Old Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows.

I knew that Mrs. Zhang was teasing Xiaoye on purpose, so I immediately passed the plate of shrimp that Xiaoye had just peeled to Mrs. Zhang: "Grandma, please eat."

But when I was halfway through handing over the plate, Ono stopped me.

I was stunned, and I saw Xiaoye protecting the plate of shrimp with his hands: "No, this plate is yours. I will peel another plate for grandma later."

He turned to look at Old Lady Zhang and said, "Grandma, I'll peel some new ones for you later. Let my wife eat this one."

It's just a plate of shrimps. Besides, Mrs. Zhang is the elder, and as a junior, I should give the shrimps to her. Xiaoye was a bit stingy by doing this.

I was worried that Mrs. Zhang would be unhappy, so I was about to speak.

Then Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "Of course, I was right about this boy. He loves his wife, just like the men in our Zhang family."

I was surprised to hear that. My godmother put a bullfrog in my bowl and said with a smile, "My old lady is different from other old ladies. She likes men who love their wives and likes to see the younger generations loving and harmonious."

So that's how it is. No wonder Mrs. Zhang wasn't angry. Instead, she thought Xiao Ye was a good man. If Xiao Ye had given that plate of peeled shrimps to Mrs. Zhang, she wouldn't be happy.

"Yes, a wife is wealth. To love your wife is to accumulate virtue and wealth for yourself. A man who harms his wife will never gain any wealth. What I hate most in my life is the kind of man who would sacrifice his wife for others. Such a good girl, after you marry her, you must love and take good care of her!" Old Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile.

Then, under Xiaoye's expectant gaze, he changed the subject: "But my approval is one thing, but whether you can be my granddaughter-in-law depends on Xuxu's opinion. If she is happy to marry, our whole family will support her. If she is not happy to marry, then I'm sorry, our Zhang and Yuan families will not have this fate."

Old Mrs. Zhang always smiles, and her tone is gentle and slow when she speaks, but every word she says hits the point.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ye's expectations instantly fell through, and he said bitterly: "Grandma, after talking for so long, you still can't make up your mind?"

"Of course Xuxu has to make her own decision. We, as elders, can't arrange marriages, right?" Old Lady Zhang said as she reached out and took the plate of shrimp that Xiaoye had just peeled in front of her. She smiled and said, "But you can't take back the shrimp you peeled for me. I'll take it away."

Ono laughed: "Okay, okay, you fooled me like this just to trick me into peeling shrimps."

Everyone at the table started laughing, and the atmosphere became relaxed and warm.

I couldn't help laughing. In this relaxed and warm atmosphere, sweetness and happiness filled the air, and my respect for the old lady from the Zhang family increased even more.

Sister Min smiled and said, "Well, Xuxu, are you willing to marry Xiaoye?"

Her words came so suddenly. I was drinking soup and almost choked and started coughing.

Just now when Mrs. Zhang mentioned the idea of ​​letting Xiao Ye be her grandson-in-law, I felt nervous, fearing that the topic would continue to develop.

But what you fear will come true. I didn’t expect that Sister Min would actually continue talking about this topic.

How do I answer this?

I just made a temporary decision not to break up with Ono so early, but I have never thought about marrying Ono at all. I know in my heart that I absolutely cannot marry Ono.

I am simply not worthy of such a good man.

My godmother and Xiaoye reached out to pat my back at the same time. Xiaoye quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe the corners of my lips, but frowned and looked at Sister Min opposite: "Mom."

My godmother looked at me and said, "Xiao Min..."

"Xiao Min, the two children are still young, and Xuxu is working hard on her career now. Don't rush the children. Give them space and time." The old man was sitting next to Sister Min. He interrupted Godmother and stopped Sister Min with a slightly frowned brow.

I felt a little relieved. With the elder man's intervention, there would be no problem.

However, the next second, I heard Elder Yuan say again: "However, Xuxu is such a good girl, Xiaomin and I really like her from the bottom of our hearts. Xuxu, do you mind if we settle it first? It will also be regarded as our Yuan family's attitude towards you and the Zhang family?"

what?

I was stunned.

Didn’t you say we were still young? Didn’t you know I was working hard on my career? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t rush us and give us space and time?

Why do you suddenly want Ono and I to get engaged?

Besides, the elder didn't urge us, nor was he afraid that I would run away. He just said that he wanted to show me and the Zhang family an attitude.

These words just stumped me. I didn't know how to refuse. I just lowered my head awkwardly and coughed softly into the tissue.

Sister Min immediately responded and said with a smile: "That's right, I was too impatient. There's no rush to get married. It's better to settle down first."

This couple hadn't seen each other for many years, and they would quarrel whenever they met. But now they were unexpectedly united and harmonious. They teamed up to set a trap for me and forced me to jump into it.

I stood in front of this pit, caught in a dilemma.

Once you jump in, it will be difficult to get out later, and Ono will be even more hurt.

But if I don’t dance, Xiao Ye will be sad, and both the elder man and Sister Min will be unhappy.

I didn't even dare to look up, for fear of seeing their disappointed eyes.

The air was quiet and the atmosphere at the table was a little heavy.

Ono gently held my hand and was about to speak.

Mr. Zhang, who had been sitting next to the godmother without saying anything, suddenly put down his chopsticks, and said in a serious and somewhat reproachful tone: "Old Yuan, why are you in such a hurry? Our daughter just came back, and we haven't taken good care of her yet, and you are so anxious to dig her into your house? What? Are you in a hurry to snatch our daughter from us? If you want a daughter, give birth to one of your own, don't even think about snatching her from us!"
